Walking on tenth avenue, outside Star on 18 I ran into Peter Dinklage.

I rarely approach public figures I don’t know but this time I felt compelled.

Perhaps fearful of some clown about to ask him for a selfie, pulling out his earbuds he scowled at me as if to say, WTF?

But as I began talking he got smiling and we had a good chat.

I apologized for interrupting and told him that I only did because just yesterday I saw this quote from him that rocked me.

You often hear the notion that you make your own luck.

As far as I can tell this means being willing to do hard things long enough until other people label your success as “luck.”
